lingo-l Sond problems with AVI
From: "Chandra shekar Reddy" [EMAIL PROTECTED] how can i make use of sound channels for background musiceven when playing an avi with soundtrack ? The problem here is that the sound track of an .AVI is not played when we have sound in sound channels.please suggest me to overcome the problem This is a limitation of the way that AVIs play their sound through the old VideoForWindows interface. The problem is explained in detail in Chapter 15 of Director in a Nutshell (DiaN) free online at http://www.zeusprod.com/nutshell/downloads One solution is to play your AVI's using Tabuleiro's DirectXtra, which plays AVIs through the more modern DirectShow libraries. DirectShow outputs its sound to DirectSound, unlike the VFW interface which always sends sound to WaveOut. Again, this is all explained in Chapter 15 of DiaN if the above leaves you confused.

lingo-l angle calculation
Hi Everyone.
What is the easiest way to calculate an angle?
I have three sprites on the stage. The first even (through mySprite and
A_Sprite)
and the second even (through mySprite and B_Sprite) form an angle at
mySprite.
I want to calculate that angle in degrees. The point of origin is on the
left bottom
of the stage. Division by zero isnt solved yet.
Any help is very welcome.
regards
rAlf.
property stageWidth
property stageHeight
property A_Sprite
property B_Sprite
property mySprite
property xA, yA, xB, yB, xP, yP -- coordinates
property m1, m2 -- inclination of the even
property angleRad
property angleDeg
on beginSprite me
A_Sprite = sprite(15)
B_Sprite = sprite(16)
mySprite = sprite(me.spriteNum)
stageWidth = the stageRight - the stageLeft
stageHeight = the stageBottom - the stageTop
the floatPrecision = 4
end beginSprite me
on prepareFrame me
xA = A_Sprite.locH.float
yA = (stageHeight - A_Sprite.locV).float -- point of origin is on the
left bottom of the stage.
xB = B_Sprite.locH.float
yB = (stageHeight - B_Sprite.locV).float
xP = mySprite.locH.float
yP = (stageHeight - mySprite.locV).float
m1 = (yA - yP) / (xA - xP)
m2 = (yB - yP) / (xB - xP)
angleRad = (m2-m1) / (m1*m2 +1).atan
angleDeg = angleRad * 180 / pi -- convert from RAD to DEG.
put angleRad into member("angleRad")
put angleDeg into member("angleDeg")
end prepareFrame me

Re: lingo-l lingo.ini
Great question. A Lingo.ini file lets you do a very limited number of commands - its main value is to set up some global variables before the start of the movie. It also used to be used to load some XObjects (precursors of Xtras), though its value for that I think started to disappear in D4 - it certainly was gone in D5. You can do some 'put' commands. You cannot for the most part call any handlers or anything else from them, and you have access to the most limited of Director calls, if any, perhaps 'set the centerStage to TRUE'. Nowadays with 'on prepareMovie' functionality in Director, you don't need LINGO.INI to set things up in advance before the first frame executed. Prior to Director 6, I think, you had to make sure to ship a LINGO.INI files with most projectors, even if the file was empty, otherwise you'd get some error or complaint every time you ran the projector, at least on certain systems. I've forgotten the specifics now, though I did write an article on it at some point. It certainly was an issue with Director 4, and I think it was to a lesser degree an issue with Director 5. Also, at least in 5 and 6, I think, there was a command in there that did some math assignment like 'if string(0.0)="a" then nothing', the purpose of which was to initialize the floating point system or something so it wouldn't crash later. Nowadays you don't really need LINGO.INI, at least from D7 on, but it's there if you want it. Lingo.ini is normally demonstrated with an 'on startUp' handler, but as I think I demonstrated once, it doesn't really matter what you call the handler and, in fact, I think having it in the form of a handler was optional altogether, though don't hold me to that. Director just seemed to parse whatever was in there and act on it. It certainly didn't invoke startUp() by name. You have to understand that in a former life, Director would put up the first frame and THEN it would call startMovie, if I recall, so the big purpose of lingo.ini was to get an opportunity to get your fingers on the system before it got too fired up. Modern day calls like 'on prepareMovie' and 'on prepareFrame' alleviate the need for this. You guys nowadays have it too easy. :) - Tab At 11:38 AM 4/18/01 -0400, Charlie Fiskeaux II wrote: What is the purpose of a lingo.ini file?

RE: lingo-l frametempo
I believe that would be the frameTempo property. From the Lingo Dictionary: Syntax the frameTempo Description Frame property; indicates the tempo assigned to the current frame.

In this case, the tempo is 15 frames per second. put the frameTempo -- 15 See also puppetTempo -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Christopher Watson Sr. Software Engineer Lightspan, Inc. http://www.lightspan.com/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -Original Message- From: Victor Iwan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2001 9:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:lingo-l frametempo Is there anyway to display actual frametempo by lingo ??

RE: lingo-l lingo.ini
Nowadays you don't really need LINGO.INI, at least from D7 on, but it's there if you want it. Sorry Tab, I have to disagree with that bit... There's an excellent usage for the lingo.ini file, as a companion to a fast-start "universal projector". Have a look at this handler: global gfMovie on startUp gfMovie = "Main" end startUp and this handler: global gfMovie on startMovie go movie gfMovie end The first will go into the lingo.ini file and the second one will go into a stub director movie that's compiled into a fast-start projector - with nothing else in it. The moment you double click the projector, it will open a movie called "movie". Then, you can just copy and pase your projector, lingo.ini file and extras folder into any director project folder and all you need to do is open the lingo.ini and change your gfMovie handler into whatever you want. That will save you making seperate stub projectors for each project. A note: it has to be saved as a global, because you can't execute a "go to movie" command from the lingo.ini PS: You can also use it to define other globals for usage in any of your movies (not just the stub - globals carry over across movies unless "clearGlobals" is used) Karina [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.

Re: lingo-l angle calculation
What is the easiest way to calculate an angle? You can use ATAN with two integers to see the angle from one to the other, it even takes care of the zero angle case. For your job you would do that twice, and add the numbers together: angle1 = atan(sprite(2).loch - sprite(1).loch, sprite(2).locv - sprite(1).locv) angle2 = atan(sprite(2).loch - sprite(3).loch, sprite(2).locv - sprite(3).locv) angleindegrees = (angle2-angle1) *180/pi Here's a sample movie: http://staging.funnygarbage.com/colin/angular.dir It's a DIR, you can open it from within Director.

RE: lingo-l lingo.ini
Um, although I spent a lot of time on the history, I'm pretty sure my first sentence said "its main value is to set up some global variables before the start of the movie". In fact, I don't think you even need to declare them global, because if I recall correctly, all variables addressed in there are automatically considered global. And, yes, I know globals are good throughout and across movies.

RE: lingo-l text
if i want a user to be able to make notes while a movie is running do i use a text field? i tried putting a field on the stage but it won't let me type into it. welll have you made it EDITABLE? hmmm... also if i want to check for certain words in that text then say go to a marker how would i do this? is there a button that makes this happen? if so then you may want to look at the CONTAINS keyword in the manual. you know, like if xxx contains yyy then doWhatever where xxx is a variable containing the contents of your text field, and yyy is a variable containing what you want to match against. que pasa?

lingo-l Fixed SMUS problem...
Hi guys... Thanks for any input. I've sorted the problem now. It turned out that I had set up the callback to have the message passed to it as a parameter, but the actual processing handler did not use parameters and used getNetMessage() to pull down the message. By that time, of course, the message had already been sent (lost into the ether), so there was nothing there to be pulled. Maybe I should get some sleep...36 hours is too long on coffee and Coke alone.

lingo-l Who was asking about multitrack cards and director?
Strangely enough it never occurred to me...but in trying to get my motu 2408 back up (one file I need access to keeps dropping out with type 3 errors) I realized that the setup wizard, a director movie, uses a pci-324 xtra -- the motu 2408 card. I know that I can use this xtra to set the config but not sure if I can actually output audio out any one of the 8 analog outs...

RE: lingo-lHow to use lingo to IMPORT JPG into Cast Members
People, is it possible to in lingo search a folder using fILE io and using the returned path import all the JPG files into a new cast Yes and no. For folder operations, FileXtra3 will suit your purposes better. www.kblab.net/xtras/ It has methods, such as fx_FolderToList, which might be useful. Figuring if the returned files are JPEGs is as simple as testing the filename, with something like the "contains" operator, for ".jpg" Having done that, new(#bitmap, castLib "whatEver") and "importFileInto" could help. One thing you *can't* do is create a new castLib with Lingo. HTH, -Sean.

Re: lingo-l Who was asking about multitrack cards and director?
Well, it's an xtra created by motu for their audio cards (see motu.com). I've got a 2408 which allows me 3 banks of 8 channels i/o each. Bank one is analog i/o bank 2 to the da-88 and bank 3 is spdif (there are other models). now it seem that the xtra doesnt' route the audio at all but merely sets the banks, clock and frequency for each device on the card (you can have 3 different devices on one card)... so there's still no way to route the audio at all. Might be interesting to get in touch with motu though.

lingo-l Projector on HD and dxr's on CD
I've figured out that the projector boots up much faster and can have its settings(like full screen) changed if I copy it to the hard drive and use the CD-ROM just for the data (like dxr's and cxt's) But in order to make the projector work I need also to copy the xtra's that my Project uses.. The questions are: does macromedia allow me to copy the projector from the CD-ROM to the user's Hard Drive?? does the xtra's developer allow me to copy the runtime version of their software?? Any elucidation would be wellcome.
